Hi @TOM787,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
To create a taskbar icon for your HP DeskJet 2132 printer on a Windows 10 (64-bit) system, you'll need to follow these steps:
Install HP Printer Software:
- Ensure you have the HP printer software and drivers installed. You can download the latest software from the HP Support website.
Create a Desktop Shortcut:
- Open the Start Menu.
- Search for "HP DeskJet 2132" or the printer software installed.
- Right-click on the application or software name and select "Open file location".
- In the File Explorer window that opens, right-click on the executable file (usually ending in .exe) and select "Send to" > "Desktop (create shortcut)".
Pin to Taskbar:
- Go to your desktop.
- Locate the newly created shortcut for the HP DeskJet 2132 software.
- Right-click on the shortcut and select "Pin to taskbar".
This will create a taskbar icon for your HP DeskJet 2132 printer, allowing you to easily access the printer software and settings directly from your taskbar.
If you want a more direct link to the printer settings or to print directly, you can create a shortcut that opens the "Devices and Printers" window:
Create Shortcut to Devices and Printers:
- Right-click on an empty area of your desktop.
- Select "New" > "Shortcut".
- In the location field, enter explorer.exe shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}.
- Click "Next" and name the shortcut something like "Printers and Devices".
- Click "Finish".
Pin to Taskbar:
- Right-click on the new "Printers and Devices" shortcut on your desktop.
- Select "Pin to taskbar".
This will give you quick access to your printer settings from the taskbar.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
